With standout singles, including the recent release “Twin Flame” – produced by Tommy “TBHits” Brown and Leather Jacket, “Under the Moon” and the title track “Vacancy,” reuniting Ari with GRAMMY-winning hitmakers Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox, the same powerhouse duo behind her Billboard-charting, RIAA platinum-certified hit “Pressure.” In 2023, Ari celebrated her sophomore album Age/Sex/Location with a sold-out “The Age/Sex/Location” Tour, performing across major U.S. cities including Los Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, and more.
About Ari Lennox
Ari Lennox is soul in its purest form: fearless, radiant, and singular. Hailing from Washington, D.C., the GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter has built a career rooted in emotional honesty, anchored by vocal excellence, and guided by artistic integrity.
She first captured global attention with her 2019 debut Shea Butter Baby, a modern R&B classic that produced the platinum-certified title track and “BMO,” alongside gold-certified fan favorites “Whipped Cream” and “Up Late.” The album earned Ari nominations from the GRAMMYs, Soul Train Awards, and NAACP Image Awards, firmly establishing her as one of the most vital voices in contemporary music.
In 2021, Ari reached new heights with “Pressure,” her chart-topping anthem and first solo entry on the Billboard Hot 100. That momentum carried into her critically acclaimed 2022 album age/sex/location, praised by Rolling Stone as an “R&B gem” and celebrated for its vulnerability, maturity, and command. Across each release, Ari has distinguished herself not only as a powerhouse vocalist, but as a gifted writer, crafting songs that resonate with clarity and truth.
Her third studio album, Vacancy, marks a confident new chapter in her artistry. Recorded over three years and executive produced by Elite, the project finds Ari embracing growth, softness, and self-assurance while maintaining the emotional depth that has long defined her work. She co-wrote every track on the album, further cementing her reputation as a formidable songwriter with a distinct artistic voice.
Ari’s live presence is equally compelling. From major festival stages to her sold-out 2023 headlining tour, which moved nearly 90,000 tickets worldwide, she continues to connect deeply with a wide range of audiences. Recent highlights include multiple sold-out nights alongside Robert Glasper during his Blue Note residency in Los Angeles, a featured performance at the 80th EBONY Power 100 Gala, and a national television appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, where she delivered a standout performance of the new single “Twin Flame.”
With Vacancy, Ari Lennox steps fully into her “Soft Girl Era,” not as a reinvention, but as a refinement. A decade into her career, she is grounded in her voice, confident in her vision, and continuing to shape the future of soul music on her own terms.
